I am such a dunce...
I just stepped into the Hilton to check electrolyte levels in a pair of 6V's I have in a vented box inside the trailer. Some genius forgot to put the caps back on from the last fill-up.
The cover was on the box so any and all acid was confined inside (and there wasn't all that much splattered about) but I feel slightly senile.
I wiped the tops down and applied baking soda, liberally. When it is all neutralized, I'll break the connections down, clean, and reconnect. It could have been worse, I guess but it's a reminder to stay on task until completed.
On a side note, the Napa Battery Terminal spray is a wonderful thing. wherever it was applied, there was no indication of any acid corrosion.
